President Trump has issued executive orders to effectively erase diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs in federal contracting, enforcing measures against contractors that resist compliance. These orders, which revoke longstanding executive directives, require that race, color, sex, religion, or national origin not influence hiring and procurement decisions. Contractors face fiscal risks due to compliance ties established in the new orders, including potential whistleblower claims under the False Claims Act. Alongside this, federal employees are urged to report any DEI-related infractions, fostering a culture of surveillance and compliance amongst contractors in the public sector.
The Trump administration's executive orders are poised to significantly reshape DEI initiatives in federal contracting, imposing stringent compliance measures and penalties.
Contractors are instructed to avoid considerations of race, sex, or national origin in hiring and procurement, reflecting a broader push to eliminate DEI practices.
